As BIM is now being accepted and broadly expanded in the building industry, the demand for developing, managing, submitting, and checking the BIM models has increased. To meet this demand, it is necessary to develop and spread BIM guidelines, standards, and manuals. Meanwhile, as the number of public construction projects increases, the importance of quantifying the BIM quality checking and evaluation also grows. This study aims to enhance our understanding of the definition and characteristics of BIM quality management, and review the current situation of BIM standards worldwide. In particular, by focusing on BIM quality control and its relevant subjects, the minimum standards for BIM quality management are suggested.

In the trend of building enlargement, high-rise and irregular shaped building, domestic application of BIM in construction phase is increasing in recent years. BIM that is based on a three-dimensional, requires a specific building expression. Model expression level required for each phase such as design, construction, and maintenance of the construction project can be different. BIM model to apply in practice is difficult because it is not clear to set up the criteria for the expression level of construction BIM model. And it has a limit that is lower productivity in construction project. Therefore, this study considers the way of the improvement and analyzes the application for representation level of construction BIM model through the survey. By analyzing of the survey results, this study will be to present a basis for an appropriate expression level setting of construction BIM model.

Recently, BIM has been widely applying in civil engineering projects centering on the private construction industry in order to establish self guidelines for spreading in practice. However, most BIM technologies and software are based on the architectural projects. In these environments, it is not easy to apply the BIM to a infrastructure field. Even BIM standards with IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) are also focusing on architectural projects. Especially, both private and public sectors do not know about how BIM delivery system should be performed, and how such deliverable should be submitted to the government yet. Thus, we need to analyze an application level of BIM S/W (Software) in real projects and verify their interoperability. Besides, since there are not any common standards that can exchange IFC models for civil engineering projects, we have many issues in converting as-built infrastructure models into IFC and delivering their design documents to the government. Accordingly, this study aims to perform a BIM process with commercial software for real road project after a detailed design process is finished and verify interoperability between diverse BIM software for securing BIM data reliability.

As the need for 3D spatial information increases, many local governments and related industries are establishing map-based 3D spatial information services and offering them to users. In these services, positional accuracy is one of the most important factors determining their applicability to specific tasks. This study studied the location correction method between indoor and outdoor 3D spatial information through the construction of modeling data on a BIM/GIS platform. First, we selected the sites and processed the BIM/GIS data construction with 3 steps. When connecting the BIM model including indoor spatial data and 3D texturing model based on ortho images, mismatches occurred, so we proposed a location correction method. Using the conversion algorithm, the relative coordinate-based BIM data were converted to the absolute positions and then relocated by means of the texturing data on the BIM/GIS platform.

최근 설계 단계에서 설계품질 향상과 시공 단계에서 비용 절감을 효과를 기대하며 3차원 BIM 관련 기술에 대한 관심이 높아가고 있으며, 또한 부분적으로 기술 도입 효과가 나타나고 있다. BIM 기술은 크게 BIM 도구를 활용하여 설계정보를 디지털화하는 모델링 단계 기술과 BIM 모델로부터 설계 정보를 추출하여 업무 진행에 필요한 형태로 가공, 변환하는 정보 활용 기술로 구분하여 생각할 수 있다. BIM 기술에 대한 근자의 높은 관심에도 불구하고 실제 현장에 적용되어 가시적인 성과를 내는 데에 한계를 보이고 있는 이유 중 하나로 후자의 정보 추출 및 활용 기술의 범위와 완성도의 한계를 들 수 있다. 즉 많은 노력을 통하여 BIM 모델을 구축하더라도 이를 기반으로 물량산출, 도면 생성 등 가장 기본적인 업무조차도 현장에서 바로 사용할 수 있는 수준의 기능이 제공되고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 건축 골조를 대상으로 3차원 골조 모델을 이용하여 골조 물량, 특히 정확한 물량산출이 상대적으로 어려운 철근에 대하여 철근의 이음, 정착 등이 고려된 실행물량을 산출할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 또한 3차원 모델을 기반으로 철근 배근시공도와 가공일람표를 관련 기준에 따라 정확히 자동 작성함으로써 골조공사가 효율적으로 수행되고, 특히 정확한 이음 및 정착과 가공 계획을 통하여 철근 손실율을 최소화함이 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 BIM 기반 골조 물량산출 및 도면생성 시스템과 관련하여 주요 시스템 설계 내용과 구현 결과에 대하여 기술한다.

Building Information Modeling, and its associated work practices, requires project participants to share not only 3D geometric data, but also information in the model that may be considered proprietary and even trade secrets. Thus protection of intellectual property, or BIM copyrights, must be in place for participants to share proprietary information among project stakeholders. Currently Korea does not have adequate copyright laws or mechanisms to provide such protection. This research examined three BIM copyright legal documents, namely U.S.' ConsensusDOCS 301, AIA Document E203/G202, and U.K.'s CIC BIM Protocol to determine how copyright protection is realized, and to formulate appropriate stipulations within the Korean construction context. The resultant requirements include stipulating ownership at to the BIM originator, adopting a license-sublicense scheme, employing a federated model, and use of a formal model delivey table to allocate responsibilities. Given Korea's adoption stage, liability should be minimal, and license revocation should be allowed if payments are not met. The three BIM legal documents focus on practical measures that allow participants to customize requirements for individual projects, and such conventions should be emulated in Korea.

Building information modeling (BIM) element to industry foundation classes (IFC) entity mappings need to be checked to ensure the semantic integrity of BIM models. Existing studies have demonstrated that machine learning algorithms trained on geometric features are able to classify BIM elements, thereby enabling the checking of these mappings. However, reliance on geometry is limited, especially for elements with similar geometric features. This study investigated the employment of relational data between elements, with the assumption that such additions provide higher classification performance. Neural structured learning, a novel approach for combining structured graph data as features to machine learning input, was used to realize the experiment. Results demonstrated that a significant improvement was attained when trained and tested on eight BIM element types with their relational semantics explicitly represented.

In recent years, the use of BIM in domestic construction has been increasing, but it is used mainly for internal and external visualization rather than for BIM design including drawings. For this reason, several studies have highlighted the lack of libraries and economic problems for BIM design. In other words, for the most economically small domestic design offices, activating the BIM design is a negative factor because it is difficult to invest the necessary manpower and cost to produce and use the required BIM library. The BIM design can be more applicable if the library can be supplied economically, easily, and quickly. In this study, BIM library business model and consideration factors that can provide BIM library service economically, easily, and quickly by considering the existing building material selection task and BIM library are presented. The proposed business model will increase the number of suppliers of BIM libraries, which are lacking in Korea, and will enable an effective BIM design at low cost and effort. If a service that reflects the business model proposed in this study is made, an integrated database that can consistently share information in the design, construction, and maintenance stages will be constructed. This can monitor the changes in material and equipment information during the life cycle of the building. The database can be used to monitor any changes in material and equipment information throughout the life cycle of a building, so that it can be used as historical data for effective design and maintenance as well as for material and equipment upgrades.

BIM models allow building spaces to be instantiated and recognized as unique objects independently of model elements. These instantiated spaces provide the required semantics that can be leveraged for building code checking, energy analysis, and evacuation route analysis. However, theses spaces or rooms need to be designated manually, which in practice, lead to errors and omissions. Thus, most BIM models today does not guarantee the semantic integrity of space designations, limiting their potential applicability. Recent studies have explored ways to automate space allocation in BIM models using artificial intelligence algorithms, but they are limited in their scope and relatively low classification accuracy. This study explored the use of Graph Convolutional Networks, an algorithm exclusively tailored for graph data structures. The goal was to utilize not only geometry information but also the semantic relational data between spaces and elements in the BIM model. Results of the study confirmed that the accuracy was improved by about 8% compared to algorithms that only used geometric distinctions of the individual spaces.

Recently, as smart construction has become more active, construction companys are evaluating their smart construction capabilities in order to transform into smart construction companies. However, the revitalization of smart construction doesn't only apply to construction companies, the level of utilization of all participants, including owners, designers, construction project managers, and construction company, must be improved. Therefore, this study aims to present a model that evaluate the building information modeling (BIM) utilization level for measuring the BIM utilization level of construction management companies in executing construction project management. In this study, an AHP questionnaire survey targeting BIM practitioners to calculate the weight of each BIM utilization item and score it to construct evaluation model and evaluate it by applying it to construction management companies are conducted. As a result of the evaluation using model, there were differences between companies in the number of BIM users, and in the qualitative evaluation, it is mainly used for interference review, constructability review, and design change management. Therefore, in order to revitalize BIM, it is believed that it is necessary to strengthen BIM utilization ability through separate training for construction manager (CMr) and to present clear utilization standards and scope of work for BIM utilization in performing construction management tasks. Consequently, evaluating more construction management companies using the model presented in this study will result in the transition of CM companies to smart construction and revitalization of BIM adoption.
